Hello there.

Unique opportunities await.

The opportunity to change entire industries with your design expertise. The opportunity to collaborate with kind, creative people who genuinely care about your growth and well-being. The opportunity to perform on your own terms–to work when you want and how you want.

An opportunity to do things differently.

Here at Praxent, we care about our clients. But so does every digital agency. What sets us apart is the way we care about each other. Chosen as one of the Best Places to Work in Texas five times, our diverse and brilliant team of experts is steady and growing. Now, we’re asking you to come along for the ride.

As a senior product designer at Praxent, you will be taking ownership of design and leading the team on any number of projects. Here are a few examples of what our seniors are currently doing:

  • Conducting user research for umbilical cord blood banking
  • Redesigning the user experience of a county court system
  • Conducting heuristic evaluations for a flexible benefits administration experience
  • Supporting developers and junior designers to optimize rodeo logistics
  • Creating a new consumer-facing dashboard for retirement planning

If you’re a person who loves new challenges, and the description below sounds enticing, apply today. We’d love to build something new with you.

 

Who You Are

  • You’re a believer in user-centered design. You’re the voice users need, so they end up with the product they want.

  • Creative within constraints. You balance the considerations of clients and team members alike. You see boundaries as a path to creativity, not a stopping point. 

  • You know your stuff. (And you have the data to prove it.) You have a passion for UX research and the know-how to apply it.

  • Problems give you purpose. You feel energized by ambitious, complex projects.

  • Steady, ready, and heady. A rhyme-y way to say that you are consistent, proactive, and detail oriented. 

  • Open to input. You don’t build a wall around your ideas. You’re comfortable hearing constructive criticism from both your supervisors and your peers.

  • A storyteller for solutions. Not only can you create brilliant solutions, you can shape the story of how they came to be.

  • Head of the fan club. You’re a designer because you love design. You follow the latest trends and spread the word when the hype is warranted.

 

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Creating delightful experiences. You’ll conduct user research, design complex user flows, and create wireframes and prototypes; by yourself or with junior designers and developers. And you’ll create delightful experiences for our clients IRL. It makes you happy to meet their needs in a dependable, proactive way
  • Beating circumstances with best practices. Whether it’s a tight timeline or a budget that’s less-than-ideal, delivering a great product is what matters to you most.
  • Designing products that pay. You don’t just own the delivery of pixel perfect designs to your clients–you make sure your designs create value for their company.

  • Lab learning. Evaluative research? Generative? No matter what kind of UX learning you’re doing, you’re ready to facilitate and support UX research.
  • Saging. Sharing. (User) experience is the mother of wisdom. Or so the saying goes. Whether it’s individual interactions, whole design systems, or new research techniques, you strive to level-up the knowledge of our team. 
  • Mentoring many. You’re happy to take a younger designer under your wing. You provide guidance and advice to the members of the design team who need it.

 

We’d Love to Hear From You If

  • You have a minimum of 5 years experience with product design and user research. Do you eat, sleep, and dream UX? Let’s talk.
